At Rodarte.....Karen, NYC

Yet another with feet pointing slightly inwards. Am I missing something or have people forgotten how to stand properly? Please, someone, let me know.

What a contrast to our Lady in Red! This witty costume would be perfect for the next episode of "A Series of Unfortunate Events"...I can see the effort here, and it's a strain...even though I do love the vest. The shoes, sadly, smack of tourist--why not a pair of oxfords? She looks so very unhappy--I want to give her a hug and tell her to cheer up!

I'd LOVE to see Karen and Jefferson walking down the street together - both so crisp with their slight smatterings of color.

(and her lovely vest button detail is just perfectly revealed!)

Androgynous but not tottaly. I like how she plays with the details: the school boyish tie, the diva sunglasses. That bag with those shoes.I believe she’s someone that chooses carefully her wardrobe in order to send a message.And again, the scenario is brilliant.

Hmmm, this would have been a great ensemble until I saw the shoes. It cuts her off at the ankles and makes her look stumpy.

the backdrop you photographed her on, goes perfectly, its awesome gives a bit of sense to her look.... she reminds me of the matrix, that minimal background, with that outfit very cool...however i'm not crazy about the shoe pairing..

I love the outfit.Nice shades,shirt collar is perfect with the tie-and most of all i love that bold effect the waistcoat has on the jacket,my impression of her is charmingly foxy.

its interesting that she is a thin vertical line, standing in front of thin horizontal lines, with HUGE pointed sunglasses. I wonder where she's going...

She looks gorgeous but very unhappy. I hope it's just a fashionable pose and not her true feelings. She looks like someone who has gotten everything she wants and now isn't sure why she wanted it in the first place.

Holy crap, this is one of my favorite outfits from this site. Those lines are so crisp! And how on earth did you make that perfect background happen sart??

Wow. This is really great. All of it. Her bored facial expression is perfect with the geeky chic-ness of this whole get-up. Love the vest!!! and the sunglasses..and hair...and coat.

Reminds me a bit of Karl Lagerfeld's manner of dress...only this is better, because of the androgyny. She's daring and I think it works in that, as someone else put it, the long line is consistent. There's a real conviction here.Bravo.

The hair! The sunglasses! The vest! The purse! I'd only improve on the shoes, but I can't really knock someone for that as they may have been standing all day.

the white shirt peeking out from under the vest looks awkward, it makes her torso look bizarrely long

and the sunglasses...oh no she didnt

the vest saves the outfit tho.

I can't get past the glasses. I hate them! and she needs a pair of heels! Other than that- its not bad..

GREAT SHOT!!! Love her style as well but it's the pic that stands out here. Can't get enough of the grey horizontal lines and the dark vertical line in the foreground. Would love to see other shots on this background. Very NYC!
